Potatoes -- sprouting and just slightly soft

I want to use these potatoes in a soup. They have just started to sprout and are not quite as hard as they were a few weeks ago when a bought them. Are they still okay to eat? Will they be okay in a soup? Thank you!

I wouldn't consider tossing them, as I don't throw out salvageable food. When my potatoes get bumpy and "tender" ;-), I cut out the "warts", peel, steam, and make home fries. But I assume they are fine for soup.

The cost is not so much the issue as the inconvenience. I have everything else I need for this soup. I just don't want to make the trip to the store for a few potatoes if they are fine. I'm going to try it. If we live, I'll post back. If you don't hear from me....

They are okay to eat and will be fine in your soup. Isn't that what many soups are about -- using up slightly aged or imperfect ingredients?Just be sure to cut out any green portions.BTW, soft uncooked potatoes can be crisped up by leaving them in cold water in the fridge for an hour or so. Not necessary for soup, but good to know for the future.

Funny you describe these potatoes and wonder whether or not to use them. I have a friend who lets potatoes get to this stage BEFORE he does anything with them. He LOVES potatoes like this. Takes all kinds!
